Both Inis and NanaOnSha tried going handheld, then selling out, then making cheap downloadable/mobile games. If it takes them to their prime, I am more fine with this than with other charitable donations.

Modena is where my mother's side of the family is from, and I'm yearning for it to the extent that I ended a business trip early so I could meet Massimo Bottura (of, arguably, the best restaurant in the world) when he came through the Midwest. Ansari really understood the city, as far as I could tell.

But at least they made a vaporwave album? http://music.businesscasual…

Club Fonograma is down while the writers move, but you can easily access it through the Wayback Machine. It's how I discovered Ceu and a host of others, so check it out.

This is a legitimate point-of-view, and I appreciate you sharing it. That's a conversation where I don't think there's a verifiable right answer, at least in the public square. What I say would is, "The current system works poorly for low-income children, and 1 very important solution seems to be a school that…

As I told you, it's a random lottery. Voucher schools don't get to pick who shows up.

Hey, I wish I could spend more time on this really good post, but I was foolish to jump in when I am on deadline. I wish certain posters hadn't chased the conservatives away so the burden was lighter.

I guess that's cute, but it's the same thing people here have said instead of, you know, solving their innumerable problems.

According to the Supreme Court, if a state says vouchers to religious schools are okay, they are on the same playing field as districts and charters.

I got plucked from a small town that sells cranberries, glossy paper, and (for real) sand, got my Ivy League degree, passed on DC consulting jobs and do-little foundation positions, and chose to work in this place knowing that I make less than $40,000 in Milwaukee when I'm nearing 30. That's not to say I'm so great,…

It's The A.V. Club in 2017, Miller; we only pick off ground-bound vines now.

1st, I just want to be clear that you are talking about a hypothetical situation that will never happen. States have the right to not have vouchers, to limit their use, to limit who can use them, and to limit where they can be used. In a state dominated by Republicans like Wisconsin, we can't even get the same amount…

Aw, sincerely, I am sorry that your experience was awful. As a Christian, it would be un-Christian to say that something manmade is either perfect or perfectable. I'm sorry that it was traumatizing. If you are telling the truth, then you went to a significantly bad school. If you are stretching it, then it was a bad…

I'm all for that. And if all of the families around you also want to send their tax dollars to that school, that is awesome. If they don't and they want to send them to a school of their choice, why wouldn't the tax dollars follow the student?

1. Uh, we do spend them on religious institutions, because they provide much good to society and are an integral part of society, not something cordoned off. There's even a Supreme Court case going on right now to see how far that can go. What are you talking about? http://www.scotusblog.com/c…

Instead of comment-section style bickering, how about you tell me a story, as I have done?

"Is it so much for taxpayers to ask that the influence be used to impart values we all share?"

Yeah, they are, as the last 40 years of American history proved. You're describing some ahistorical, blank slate version of culture that does not exist and would be awful if it did.

So, at Dartmouth, the music professor I adore who ate dinner with us is gay, married, and Christian (he even planned to be a preacher for awhile). https://www.youtube.com/wat… We went again this year, and his husband came to eat with us. The kids read the Bible; they know what it says already. I fed the couple…
